| 29 Nov 2018 | | BILAT USA 4.0 workshop on Citizen Science - New opportunities for research and innovation in the EU and the US | Citizen Science is a major focus of the European Commission’s H2020 2018-2020 Programme. It is also increasingly important to the US community, supported by high-level policy including the Crowdsourcing and Citizen Science Act of 2016. Although citizen science has already proven impactful across all societal sectors – academia, businesses, public sector, and civil society – , much of its potential remains untapped. There are opportunities to build on existing experiences and propel citizen science on a much bigger scale into a wide range of research areas that can benefit from this participatory paradigm. In addition, more work is needed to identify the value of and concrete opportunities for international collaboration, including between the EU and US. The workshop aims to facilitate the dialogue between scientists and policy makers, to articulate possible results if EU-US cooperation is enhanced at the policy level, and to provide input on concrete policy options to facilitate international cooperation moving forward. | Venice, Italy | more details... |
| 29 Nov 2018 | | Engage 2018 | Framing new futures for public engagement | At the Engage Conference this year we’ll be exploring new futures for university public engagement; celebrating the NCCPE’s 10 year anniversary; and taking stock of the lessons learned. Weaving in stories from people who have been working to embed public engagement in their practice and institutions – and with provocation from outside the sector - Engage 2018 will help set the foundations for the road ahead. | Edinburgh, Scottland | more details... |
| 17 Dec 2018 | | Science in Public Conference 2018 | Intersecting Science | In what ways might the question of intersection be one of the central questions of science and its publics? Science in Public 2018 is a conference centred on the multiple ways that scholars have sought to intervene in, understand, talk about, and co-produce with, the natural sciences – whether from the perspective of Science and Technology Studies (STS), Public Understanding of Science, Science Communication, Medical Sociology, the History of Science, Social and Cultural Theory, Science Journalism or some other intellectual inheritance. Intersecting Science is an explicit invitation to all scholars, practitioners, public engagement and communications specialists, and anyone else with an interest in Science in Public, to contribute | Cardiff, UK | more details... |
| 27 Dec 2018 | | 5th Chaos Communication Congress (35C3) | The Chaos Communication Congress is the Chaos Computer Club’s (CCC) annual symposium and hacker party. During four days between Christmas and New Years Eve, thousands of hackers, technology freaks, artists, and utopians get together in Leipzig to communicate, learn from each other, and party together. We focus on topics such as information technology, digital security, making, and breaking. We engage in creative, sceptical discourse on the interaction between technology and society. | Leipzig, Germany | more details... |
| 25 Jan 2019 | | Open Social Science Conference 2019 | Practicing New Standards in Transparency and Reproducibility | A conference for discussing research on the credibility, transparency, and replicability of social science research and a forum for discussing the state of and future directions for open science in the social sciences. | Mannheim, Germany | more details... |
| 06 Mar 2019 | | Moral Machines? The Ethics and Politics of the Digital World | As our visible and invisible social reality is getting increasingly digital, the question of the ethical, moral and political consequences of digitalization is ever more pressing. Such issue is too complex to be met only with instinctive digiphilia or digiphobia. No technology is just a tool, all technologies mark their users and environments. Digital technologies, however, mark them much more intimately than any previous ones have done since they promise to think in our place – so that they do not only enhance the homo sapiens’ most distinctive feature but also relieve them from it. We entrust computers with more and more functions, and their help is indeed invaluable especially in science and technology. Some fear or dream that in the end, they become so invaluable that a huge Artificial Intelligence or Singularity will take control of the whole affair that humans deal with so messily. The symposium “Moral Machines? The Ethics and Politics of the Digital World” welcomes contributions addressing the various aspects of the contemporary digital world. We are especially interested in the idea that despite everything they can do, the machines do not really think, at least not like us. So, what is thinking in the digital world? How does the digital machine “think”? | Helsinki, Finland | more details... |
| 25 Mar 2019 |  | Open Social Science Conference 2019 - Practicing New Standards in Transparency and Reproducibility | About a decade ago, John Ioannidis claimed that “most published research findings are false”. While seeming outrageous at the time, a growing body of meta-scientific research in the behavioral and social sciences has since substantiated this claim, causing uncertainty about the trustworthiness of published scientific findings. We believe that threats to the validity of published findings in the social sciences are widespread and systemic. Therefore, this conference promotes introspection about the current state of social science research and exchange on the opportunities for institutional and methodological improvement in the future. It is interdisciplinary in nature. Scholars working in any branch and within any methodology of the social sciences are invited to attend. | Mannheim, Germany | more details... |

| 01 Jul 2019 | | 11th World Conference of Science Journalists | Science and technology play a central role in the modern world; indeed they drive much of its fast ongoing transformation. So it is crucial for the future of humanity that science and technology receive in depth and critical journalistic coverage of the highest quality. This conference aims to contribute to this goal by strengthening the professional, ethical and technical skills of science journalists; by increasing their knowledge of recent developments in science; and by improving their understanding of the forces that shape it. | Lausanne, Switzerland | more details... |
